But there aren't two Chinas, so China is an acceptable shorthand for the official name. Congo is not an acceptable shorthand as it could refer to either.

The official name of North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The official name of South Korea is the Republic of Korea. Both are often referred to simply as "Korea," or by their unofficial names North and South Korea. Guinea is officially the Republic of Guinea. Though there is also the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, Guyana, French Guiana, The Guianas, Papua New Guinea, and Ghana, which all have longer official names as well. The United States of America is commonly called America, even though it is not the only country in America; or the United States, even though there is also the United States of Mexico, the United States of Belgium (until 1790), the United States of Brazil (until 1937), and others.

Official short names are not the most relevant, here is the list:

North and South Korea are not official, Congo (for RoC) is though. Some countries also prefer to stick to the long forms

tshalla, though sometimes referred to as Congo by a few quizzers, it is basically a standard here that we call it DRC, Republic of the Congo, and only accept Congo if one of those two previous names works for the topic. in this case those 1st two names don't fit the topic, so we don't put Congo in this quiz.

(Also the reason we normally don't accept RoC is because it gets confused with RoC: Republic of China)

Re the point about China, Rep. of China is commonly known as 'Taiwan', or, in the Olympics, 'Chinese Taipei', thus allowing it to be distinguished from China in Jetpunk quizzes. Rep. of Congo and DRC's only distinction in common parlance in the forenames. 'Congo', then, does not obviously refer to one of the two sovereign states; 'Taiwan' does, and by extension, and default, PR of China is simply 'China'.

So.. is ROC congo or taiwan? ;)

I have heard people argue over every silly little thing on this site ( even things which you thought were so clear, noone could make an argument about it). But have never seen people argue about ROC. Like : "Can you accept roc as a type in?" "No you can't because it is not clear what you are referring to" but then spoken in an agressive manner with a lot of ego treating the other as absolutely wrong and dumb, obviously..

North Korea and South Korea aren't official names but are used much more commonly than the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea, respectively. Similarly, China and Taiwan are shorter names for the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China. All of the above have much more commonly used and shorter names, which is why they are used in favor of their official names. There are two Congos, neither of which have shorter names that can be used to distinguish one from the other (both are usually shortened to Congo, or otherwise not shortened at all), so "Congo" is too ambiguous to be used as an answer. However, I'd say on JetPunk, "Congo" is used more for the Republic of the Congo and not for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (shortened to DR Congo).
